Virtual Decadence « I do not get enough »
Published on 07/02/12 at 08:05Good features are quite detailed in previous reviews: lipstick pickups, 3-position selector, putting both the plant microphones in series (note the difference in level when switched) and is considered the reference sound of this Dano.
Vibrato not seen the material but super cheap, so almost soft to the fund, simply twist the handle a little vibrato to make
UTILIZATION
Handle properly.
Access to acute in the middle.
It is also the lightest guitar I've ever had / seen / played.
This guitar is very cheap in its design and manufacturing but it is correct. Given the price and sound, let's not quibble.
Level setting, I find the knobs a little too "all or nothing", especially the tone. So I'm using very little. Mostly, I leave in a central position on the selector pickups and I do not touch anything.
Sometimes a good lead saturated with the bridge pickup, but this is rare.
SOUNDS
This model is more faithful to the original as the latest edition (see the test Audiofanzine). The latter would sound more "profound", "blues" ... ah yes but no. I do not slide with. In fact, it serves me whenever I feel like its a very sharp and dry Telecaster. So a more "deep" .. no thank you.
It was my spare for years (until I bought a few weeks ago a Duesenberg Double Cat for the same kind of use).
With a slight crunch on a Vox amp is a guitar rock'n'roll that makes you want to rock riffs to Keith Richards or the good old punk at the Clash. It rings on all the amps I tried: Fender Deville, Deluxe Twin, Marshall JCM 800/900/2000 .. And even modeling software. This is top with Waves GTR or NI Guitar Rig.
Besides, I have one day a bookdesign components with using GTR. And when we do what the song in the studio with the band's guitarist, drummer wanted we found exactly the same type of sound that Dano of the model ... but impossible to satisfy with what we had at hand: Les Paul Custom Shop to € 2500, U.S. Strat and a Telecaster even closer. Yeah, a Dano it can not be imitated like that.
In clean, well into his surfing (reverb delay, tremolo), his unique sound also fly.
You do not buy the Dano for versatility. We bought it mainly for one sound (and because Jimmy Page played over Kashmir). But I know much more expensive guitars that I use only one as his (or two as a Strat .. most people disliking or intermediate positions, much less the center position). So the report versatility for money is not so rotten at Danelectro.
OVERALL OPINION
I have for some years (5 I think), since the year of its release / reissue actually. It was a favorite store in Pigalle.
A weld had farted and she never went out any sound. I had left by lazy rot in a gig bag. And then, after changing my Vox AC15C1 (bright cap mod and change lamps), I told myself, this being significantly improved on both of my or my Gretsch Duesenberg, it was a shame not to see what happens Dano gave with this that I so loved.
A session soldering iron later (taking the opportunity to check all the welds because it is not joy), I played for over two hours. In clean, in overdrive, with my Rattler (clone RAT2), my Big Muff clones ... it is still as addictive.
Every time I tell myself that I should really buy a good Telecaster, I play the Dano GAS and the crisis passes instantly.
After we agree, are less large holding of the agreement and the overall quality of manufacture. It's cheap. But the big plus: the sound, look terrible and more makes you look like a totally original and the price unbeatable. I put 9 Go for value for money, but it's almost too little to show the love I have for this little guitar.
Fuck it, it was something supermarket for $ 50 at its output. And when you see the list of great rock guitarists who played on it (not that page, it seems Hendrix played it), we say that we are not crazy to love a guitar as cheap.
